About Moonlight Floreciendo
My name is Courtney Rae Gonzales. My place of birth is Napa, California. My maternal lineages are primarily from Ireland, Scotland, and England, my mom born in San Francisco, California. My paternal lineages are primarily from Northern Mexico, the states of Sinaloa, Durango, Chihuahua, and Coahuila, my dad born in Redlands, California. I have a Sagittarius Rising, Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, and Taurus Ceres.
I care deeply about the ways in which personal and community health can center the cycles, wisdom, and creativity of Mother Earth, the Cosmos, and our human bodies. Moonlight Floreciendo was birthed to be a space to share resources for deepening connections with intuition and spiritual gifts through relations with self, ancestors, lands, cosmos.
Purpose

Path
We're living in prophetic times and we each have medicine and gifts to contribute. May Moonlight Floreciendo be a resource to you on your path.
ASTROLOGY
After listening to different astrology podcasts for a few years, in 2019, I was pulled into studying astrology by the Moon and Jupiter. My dreams, intuition, and heart have guided and grounded my practice.
I started a formal study with Austin Coppock's Fundamentals of Astrology program in Summer 2025 to hone my technical and magical skills.
PLANTITAS
I studied herbal medicine in person and online at Ancestral Apothecary in Oakland, California from 2018 - 2022. The focus was folk remedies, ancestral healing and veneration, personal apothecary building, respectful and reciprocal relationships with the mama earth and ancestors.
I farmed for about 5 years with Sol Root Farm. I forever owe Mother Earth and her plantitas so much gratitude for the wisdom gained in those years.
